Just a quick blog update to inform you that I have finally created a Facebook page for See Change.

2017 is a working out to be a big year for me. So far it has been the year of better health, increased fitness, deepening faith, control and planning of finances and household organisation including reducing toxins in our home environment. I only really started this journey seriously once school went back for NSW children. Nine weeks and counting!

I am overjoyed at how far I have already come in such a short time but that joy cannot match my excitement and energy to SEE what more CHANGES will occur.

In these short nine weeks, I have been enjoying my time on Instagram, sharing my See Change journey with other like minded folks. (You can find me at see.change on Instagram.) The only downfall with Instagram is I sometimes have to cut short what I want to write about and so here I am. Blogging. I am quite new to blogging but I am sure I will get the hang of it. I only follow a few blogs but I enjoy them alot.

I am really enjoying this week's weather, low 20s and sunny throughout the day. If the weather could be like this all year long, I would be a very happy lady.

The nights have cooled off but not enough for us to want to start lighting the fire. Unfortunately our youngest developed croup a few nights ago and so we have had to light the fire at night. It is nice though, just sitting on the couch with a nice cuppa. Blissful. The cat thinks so too. 😻

Anyway, I have planned our meals for the next fortnight. I have made sure the meals are simple so I can keep the costs down. I also shopped from the pantry as much as I could. I find this task tricky because I have a very small and basic pantry and until I went grocery shopping, I had not begun stockpiling.(Stockpiling is going to be a challenge due our lack of storage space)

Day one of NSW school holidays has been blessed with beautiful sunny weather. It is the perfect day for children to be out in the back yard playing. Oh to be school age again with school holidays. and no responsibilities! Last night I sat down and worked out a daily chore chart for the three of my children for the school holidays. I explained that Daddy has time off from work (Rick is a Tafe teacher) and they have time off from school and I felt it was only fair that I was allowed some time off as well. I also reminded them that we are a family and we help each other out. The look of dismay did not leave their little faces...... It isn't like that are not exposed to house chores because they have their fair share during term but with homework and sport commitments, I am limited in my expectations.

To their credit, they started their chores this morning without fuss. Hubby and I grabbed the chance to sit in our under utilised gazebo, chat and drink coffee. It was pleasant not having…
